Tone and Connection:
Tango is a duality in itself, created from oppositions, contrasts and divergent energies. The man and the woman; proposal and listening; passion and suffering ... Thereby contrasts should be present in the dance and are necessary to keep the nature of Tango. Those are tools available to us and from which we can inspire. In our body, in our interpretation and in the movement. To achieve those 2 elements, we need to develop the posture. Using the floor and the body to achieve a better balance, connexion and internal dynamic that is needed for movement.

Xavier Vanier has an extensive background in music and martial arts that spans nearly two decades. This experience has granted him a facility both in his understanding of the music as well as in his movements. He began his tango studies with the widely respected Marika Landry, where his ease with the dance became immediately apparent. Within a few short years of study, he began teaching at Tango Fabrika in Montreal and was already becoming well known throughout North America.
Xavier continues to be passionate about teaching, dancing, and learning. Having recently spent several months in Buenos Aires studying with Gaston and Moira, he is more inspired than ever and is in increasingly high demand at events around the country.
